The convertible offering creates near-term dilution overhang on RWT common stock, while the legacy loan dispositions at a book value discount confirm ongoing credit cleanup. Monitor the conversion price and any subsequent share price weakness as a potential entry point if the loan sale proceeds are redeployed into higher-yielding assets. The $20M concurrent buyback may provide modest price support.
